What are the ANKC Semen Procedures (if I breed using artificial insemination methods) ?
The acronym ANKC stands for the Australian National Kennel Council. The ANKC comprises all the Australian states/territories Kennel Controls. All Kennel Control canine matters and systems are developed and standardised under the auspices of the ANKC. As part of that Council, the states/territories have agreed to a common system of procedures to ensure correct and verified use of semen when breeding using methods of artificial insemination, for registration of dogs in Australia. Artificial Insemination (AI) – Semen (Chilled or Frozen) : The use of chilled or frozen semen for artificial insemination in dog breeding programmes has become more prevalent in recent years.
